12  THE    GENERAL 


THE  LEGISLATIYE   BRANCH   OF  THE   GOVERNMENT. 

THE  National  Legislature  consists  of  a  Senate  of  two  members  from 
each  State,  making  the  fall  Senate  now  consist  of  seventy-four  members, 
and  a  House  of  Representatives,  now  having  two  hundred  and  forty -five 
members.  The  Senators  are  chosen  by  the  Legislatures  of  their  several 
States,  for  a  term  of  six  years,  either  by  concurrent  vote  or  by  joint  ballot, 
as  the  State  may  prescribe.  The  members  of  the  House  of  Representa- 
tives are  usually  elected  by  a  plurality  vote  in  districts  of  each  State, 
whose  bounds  are  prescribed  by  the  Legislature,  for  the  term  of  two  years. 
In  a  few  instances  they  have  been  elected  at  large  :  i.  c.,  by  the  plurality 
vote  of  the  entire  State. 

The  Constitution  requires  nine  years'  citizenship  to  qualify  for  admis- 
sion to  the  Senate,  and  seven  years  to  the  House  of  Representatives. 
An  act  approved  July  26,  1866,  requires  the  Legislature  of  each  State 
which  shall  be  chosen  next  preceding  the  expiration  of  any  Senatorial

members  elected  by  Districts.  The  number  apportioned  to  the  States  has 
varied  at  each  decennial  census,  as  shown  by  the  following  Table  :

The  average  cost  of  Railroads  in  the  United  States,  including  the 
great  overland  lines  which  cost  more  than  $100,000  per  mile,  or  about 
10  per  cent,  of  the  total  cost  of  Railroads,  is  $47,277  per  mile.  But  few 
of  the  great  Eastern  Trunk  Roads  have  cost  less  than  $80,000  to 
$100,000  per  mile,  while  in  the  South  the  cost  of  Railroad  building,  no-

EDUCATIONAL    STATISTICS. 


THE  Public  School  statistics  of  the  United  States  require  a  volume 
of  themselves  for  their  complete  elucidation.  We  can  only  give  aggre- 
gates of  the  most  important  items.  • 

The  number  of  children  of  school-age  in  30  of  the  37  States,  in  1870, 
was  10,467,189.  The  number  enrolled  in  31  of  the  37  States  was  6,751,- 
341.  The  average  attendance  in  24  out  of  37  States,  was  3,414,362. 
The  number  of  schools  in  29  States  was  117,950.  Nine  States  reported 
320,000  children  in  private  schools.  In  30  States  there  were  181,574 
teachers  employed  in  the  public  schools;  of  these,  63,815  were  male 
teachers,  and  118,056  female  teachers.  Nevada  paid  the  highest  average 
salaries  to  both  her  male  and  •female  teachers,  giving  the  former  an  av- 
erage of  $118.75  per  month,  and  the  latter  S92.16,  both  in  gold.  North 
Carolina  paid  the  smallest  a-verage  to  her  male  teachers — $20.50  per 
month — out  of  which  they  were  required  to  pay  $12,  or  thereabouts,  for 
board.  Maine  paid  the  lowest  wages  to  female  teachers — $14  per  month 
— though  as  this  was  in  addition  to  the  board,  it  was  probably  in  reality 
higher  than  North  Carolina  or  some  of  the  other  States. 

In  25  States — all  that  reported — the  average  wages  of  male  teachers 
were  $51  per  month,  and  of  female  teachers  $33.12  per  month. 

The  total  annual  income  of  the  public  schools  in  31  States — embrac- 
ing all  except  Georgia,  Mississippi,  Oregon,  South  Carolina,  Texas,  and 
Virginia,  was  nearly  sixty-two  millions  of  dollars.  Of  this  immense  sum, 
thirty-nine  millions  was  raised  in  24  States  by  taxation,  nearly  three  mil- 
lions was  interest  on  permanent  funds,  and  the  remainder  was  derived 
from  the  sale  of  lands,  rate-bills,  and  other  sources. 

The  expenditures  are  divided  into  two  classes,  the  one  of  current,  the 
other  of  incidental  expenditures.  Under  the  first  class  come  teachers' 
wages,  fuel,  &c.  Under  the  second,  the  cost  of  sites,  buildings,  repairs, 
libraries,  apparatus,  and  other  objects. 

The  amount  paid  for  teachers'  wages  in  22  States,  in  1870,  was 
$28,525,011.86.  For  fuel  and  insurance  in  17  States,  $4,567,307.97  was 
paid.  In  25  States,  $34,871,183.99  was  paid  for  buildings,  sites,  and 
repairs.  In  11  States,  8424,000  was  expended  for  libraries  and  appara- 
tus. 

The  entire  expenditure,  reported  from  30  States,  is  $58,018,371.48. 
Twenty-three  States  only  report  thqir  school  fund  and  its  condition.  The 
aggregate  school  funds  of  these  States  amount  to  $45,823,019,99.  Sev-

eral  of  the  States  not  reporting  have  large  funds,  and  it  is  probably  with- 
in bounds  to  estimate  the  present  value  of  the  school  funds  of  all  the 
States  as  not  less  than  865,000,000.

Of  scientific  and  professional  schools  in  the  United  States,  there  are 
ninety-three  Theological  Seminaries  having  384  instructors,  and  about 
3,600  students;  twenty-eight  Law  ScJiools,  with  100  professors  and  about 
1,800  students  ;  fifty-nine  Regular  Medical  Schools,  with  440  or  more  pro- 
fessors, and  about  7,000  students;  five  Eclectic  Medical  Schools,  with 
about  35  professors  and  325  students ;  one  Physio-Medical  or  Botanic 
School,  with  6  professors  and  42  students ;  seven  Homoeopathic,  with  65 
professors  and  nearly  400  students ;  six  Dental  Colleges,  with  39  profes- 
sors and  about  250  students ;  nineteen  Pharmaceutical  Societies  and  Col- 
leges, with  about  40  professors  and  perhaps  600  students.  There  are  also 
eighty-two  Normal  Schools  for  the  training  of  teachers,  with  about  230 
teachers,  and  not  far  from  10,000  students ;  twenty-six  Agricultural 
and  Scientific  ScJiools,  and  several  others  about  to  open,  all  largely  en- 
dowed, and  with  about  200  professors  and  at  least  2,000  students. 

There  are,  moreover,  20  or  more  commercial  or  business  colleges, 
giving  a  limited  course  of  instruction  generally  only  in  topics  relating  to 
business.  These  have  over  120  teachers  and  about  5,000  students. 

There  are  36  institutions  for  the  instruction  and  training  of  deaf 
mutes,  22  for  the  blind,  and  7  for  the  idiotic. 

Of  special  schools  and  means  of  instruction,  beside  the  Military  Aca- 
demy at  West  Point  and  the  Naval  Academy  at  Annapolis,  there  are  very 
many.  Most  of  our  larger  cities  have  one  or  more,  many  of  them  two  or 
three  Schools  of  Art,  Academies  of  Design,  and  Schools  of  Instruction 
in  Wood  Engraving,  Free  Drawing,  Water-color  Painting,  Architectural 
Drawing,  and  Sketching  and  Modeling  from  nature  and  life.  Some  of 


EDUCATIONAL  STATISTICS  35 

them,  like  the  Cooper  Union  in  New  York,  the  Peabody  Institute  at  Bal- 
timore, and  the  Stevens  Institute  at  Hoboken,  are  magnificent  foundations, 
and  furnish  opportunity  for  the  highest  free  education  in  art  matters. 
There  are  also  numerous  schools  of  higher  instruction  in  music,  with  em- 
inent teachers  and  a  large  attendance. 

Special  schools  for  instruction  in  navigation,  surveying,  mining, 
metallurgy,  chemistry,  and  civil  engineering  are  also  becoming  numerous. 

Most  of  the  Mercantile  Library  Associations  have  classes  for  the  in- 
struction of  their  members  in  modern  language,  mechanics,  higher  mathe- 
matics, etc.,  and  many  of  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Associations  have 
also  established  such  classes. 

There  are  308  of  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Associations,  with  an 
aggregate  of  about  53,000  members,  and  more  than  three-fourths  of  them 
have  libraries,  some  of  them  of  considerable  size. 

Aside  from  these,  and  from  the  college  libraries,  there  are  161  Pub- 
lic Libraries  in  the  United  States,  containing  from  1,200  to  190,000  vol- 
umes in  each.  The  largest  of  these  are  the  Library  of  Congress,  190,000 
volumes  ;  the  Boston  Public  City  Library,  about  140,000 ;  the  Aster  Li- 
brary, in  New  York,  of  about  the  same  size ;  the  Boston  Athenaeum,  over 
100,000  j  the  Mercantile  Library,  in  New- York  City,  about  120,000 ; 
the  Philadelphia  Library  Company,  about  85,000  j  the  New  York  State 
Library,  at  Albany,  nearly  80,000. 

EXPENSES  PER  HEAD  OF  THE  STATES  FOR  SCHOOL  PURPOSES. 

The  United  States  Commissioner  gives  some  very  interesting  figures 
in  regard  to  the  annual  expenditure  in  each  State,  for  each  child  of  school 
age.  In  the  list  Nevada  stands  first,  California  third,  and  Connecticut 
fourth.  But  in  Nevada  and  California,  a  large  proportion  of  the  expense 
is  caused  by  the  erection  of  new  school-houses,  so  that  the  table  gives 
these  States  a  better  standing  than  they  are  entitled  to.  Excluding  these 
two,  and  Massachusetts  stands  first  and  Connecticut  second. 

The  following  is  the  table  showing  the  expenditure  per  head  of  the 
school  population,  excepting  seven  States.

part  of  the  Constitution.  It  is  erroneously  given  in  an  edition  of  the 
Laws  of  the  United  States,  published  by  Bioren  and  Duane  in  1815.  |
